There are questions that can be answered easily, and there are questions which may admit of no answer at all.
This is one of them.
When I was a kid, it was easy: Music was pitched, rhythmic, 'made sense' and usually fit (or could be shoehorned into) one of the standard "forms." Noise was unpitched, possibly rhythmic, but not likely to have a melody recognizable in it.
Music groups made music; construction sites made noise.
Then world music began to be considered with equal (or more) importance than the Western Canon. With gamelon music came sounds that we might have considered noise, from striking objects of different sizes. Some of them had non-harmonic overtone structures, which made it harder to claim that the results were explicitly 'pitched', and yet, melody could be easily discerned. Most of non-Western-Canon music is monophonic or heterophonic, with the differentiation required to keep the listener from getting bored coming in timbre (tone) and rhythmic variation.
More eastern music influences caused things like drones (previously barely accepted as Ostinato, and not considered seriously as, for instance, drones on Bagpipes) became common. Further, with the introduction of electronic synthesizers into the musical battery of instruments, the ability to take electronic noise (defined as various distributions of power to all frequencies at once) and filter it to make it sound pitchy without actually making a harmonic structure at all, gave rise to a genre of popular/minimalist-like music that is specifically called "noise music."
Although this still might have allowed dividing lines to be drawn between what was music and what was noise, a set of patents on using rocket motors with tuned exhaust pipes, recordings of music performed on samples of obvious noise (or dogs barking, gathered into a pitched keyboard voicing) and serious composition using construction equipment has forever ended the idea that something could be explicitly called "music" and totally separated from something slightly different that could be explicitly identified as noise.
So at this point, distinguishing between noise and music has moved to the realm of psycho-acoustics, and out of the realm of music. Even there, it's no easy job!
What else can I help you with?
Which type of noise has sound at every frequency within the range of human hearing?
White noise
Difference Between Sound and Music?
Sounds are the noises we hear and music is the noise we listen to. Sound is the auditory consequence of spontaneous or contrived circumstances and music employs spontaneity and contrivance to make beautiful noise.
What does purple sound like?
it normally makes a neowm noise
What sound trumpet makes?
A pleasant fart-sounding noise
What is the purpose of white noise?
White noise sounds like a hiss. It can be used in the sythesis of musical instruments or sound effects. It is random noise and can be used for signal analysis.
When sound considered as merely noise?
Sound is considered as noise when it lacks any discernible pattern or meaning, and is perceived as disruptive, annoying, or unpleasant to the listener. This may be subjective and depend on individual preferences or situational contexts. Noise can also refer to any unwanted sound that interferes with communication, relaxation, or concentration.
What is the sound level of the noise measured at 42 dB?
The sound level of the noise measured at 42 dB is considered moderate and is similar to the noise level of a quiet library.
What the difference between sound nd noise?
No difference, noise is a sound too. Sound includes everything that produces sound waves. Noise is considered a mixture of many different sound frequencies at high decibel levels. (Noise is also a term used in electronics and electronic equipment)
Is noise a product of destructive wave interference?
Sound is a type of wave; therefore there can be both constructive and destructive interference. "Noise", among other things, may refer to any sound that is considered unpleasant. This need not be related to interference. For example, any sound that is too loud will be considered "noise".
What is a contradictory combination of words?
contradictory
How loud is the noise level when the sound is measured at 55db?
At 55 decibels, the noise level is considered moderate and similar to a quiet conversation or background music.
Is 'knock' onomatopoeia?
Yes, "knock" is considered onomatopoeia because it imitates the sound of a knocking noise.
What is the opposite of a sound?
Silence is the opposite or antonym of sound.
What is the duration of Sound of Noise?
The duration of Sound of Noise is 1.7 hours.
When was Sound of Noise created?
Sound of Noise was created on 2010-05-18.
When was Sound of White Noise created?
Sound of White Noise was created in 1993.
How is sound level measured. At what level does sound become noise?
Sound level is measured in decibels (dB) by a sound pressure level meter (SPL meter).There isn't really a specific level at which "sound" becomes "noise." "Noise" is a somewhat subjective term for "sound that I do not want to hear"; for example, if rap music is at all audible, I personally consider it "noise" though my son does not.In signal processing, "noise" means "anything that is not a deliberate signal" and generally has a significantly lowerdB level than the signal does.
